If a point is to be selected at random from the set of all possible points in a rectangle with an area of 30, what is the probability that the point lies inside or on a circle of radius R ?
(1) R = 2
(2) The center of the circle is inside the rectangle.
Answer is E. But I would like to know how you would have solved this problem if this was a PS...
Something like:
If a point is chosen at random from the set of all possible point in a rectangle, what is the probability that point lies inside or on a circle of radius R when the radius of the circle is 2 and the center of a circle is inside the circle and circle is fully inscribed inside the rectangle...
I have attached figure for this PS question...
The DS problem was from a Kaplan test...
